Magnifying Glass
Magnifying Glass (Product Code: SLE/M/60) is a dual-power hand magnifier used to examine insects, leaves, seeds, rocks and printed detail in school science and nature-study lessons. It combines a 4x wide-angle lens for scanning with a 9x narrow-focus lens for close inspection, and its handle holds a fold-out stand and a pair of specimen tweezers. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, as a hand lens magnifier for school classrooms and field kits.

What Is the Magnifying Glass Used For?
On a nature walk or at the classroom bench, students pick up a beetle, a seed or a flower part with the tweezers, scan it through the wide 4x lens to find the interesting region, then switch to the 9x lens to see leg hairs, compound eyes, leaf veins, crystal faces in rocks or the weave of a fabric. Unfolding the stand frees both hands for sketching, labelling or teasing a flower apart, which makes it one of the most practical biology teaching aids in India for junior and middle classes.
For the sharpest view, hold the lens close to the eye and bring the object towards it until the detail snaps into focus; the 9x lens has a shorter working distance than the 4x view. Never look at the sun through any magnifier, and do not leave it on a sunny window sill, where focused sunlight can scorch paper. Wipe the lenses with a soft, dry cloth.

Frequently Asked Questions
What magnification does the Magnifying Glass have?
The Magnifying Glass has two powers: a 4x lens with a wide-angle view for scanning a specimen, and a 9x narrow-focus lens for examining small details. Students usually find the area of interest at 4x before switching to 9x.
Can the Magnifying Glass be used hands-free?
Yes. The Magnifying Glass can be held in the hand or used hands-free by unfolding the stand built into its handle. Standing it on the desk leaves both hands free for sketching, labelling or handling a specimen with the tweezers.

The Magnifying Glass carries a pair of specimen tweezers stored inside its handle, so the tweezers are not easily lost between lessons. No other accessories are listed; containers and other viewing aids can be added to the same quotation.
